Mick Potter has been linked with the France job in the League Express, also says that Stephen Coulby to be named chairman and bringing back Brian Noble, possibly as director of rugby, but it sounds more like Noble wants the head coaches job.

But once Caisley called an EGM, saying he had the majority, and proposed Coulby for sole director, and declared a team of him, Coulby, Noble etc. that was basically a formal announcement wasn't it?

What else could happen?

I for one would love to see Nobby back at Bradford as either head coach or DOR, But I'd prefer Mick Potter here next season.

Why would Potter want to leave a SL club and go coach [iFrance[/i

It's big step down, frankly

Noble back would be intersesting to say the least, but I hope he'd stay in the background, maybe on youth development or something close to that. As i've said on other threads I'm a Potter fan and would love to see him sign on for a couple more years at least. IMO he is the man to bring the glory days back to Bradford.

If we get through this mess, surely we will at least offer Potter a new deal? Right now we could do with some continuity in playing and coaching staff IMO.

Think if Caisley comes in and brings Nobby then Potter will be reluctant to sign a new deal, even if Noble is in a role like McRae at Hull.

Rather stick with Potter if we can, he's building a talented young side thats good to watch.

I think we agree on something!!!

Agree on your sig too

I suggested Noble taking up a DOR role to Ross Heppenstall (T&A journo) and he was quick to let me know that it wouldn't work. Not sure if that was just his opinion or whether he knows a bit more than us, but he didn't see it as a possibility either way.

Noble must still have ambitions as a SL coach so i could not see it working with Potter. Whereas even McRae must see his days are over as a coach & his current gig is the best opportunity he is likely to get.

Noble coming back was mentioned around a month ago by poster here, in pretty much the exact words I had heard. Things could change, but I heard it was nailed on to happen, with Noble coaching next year.

I guess if Noble comes back we can see that argument settled abut whether he can only successfully coach a team with a pile of money behind it.

Personally I think Potter's shown he deserves another deal. It's taken a year but he's steadied the ship after the McNamara shambles and we're looking like a side that's improving for the first time in 6 years.

Of course this is all academic if the new regime hasn't the backing to take us forward.

Cant see any truth in this at all, I think even if we do get a new board they will be daft to get rid of Potter hes slowly building a strong youthful team.
